8:30 - 9:15 PM - Social: we encourage you to move around between conversations to meet new people!
Discussion
Effective altruism isn’t about committing to particular causes but taking a step back to consider different issues and identifying where you can have the biggest positive impact. Effective altruism focuses on improving lives, including animals and people in future generations.
Over dinner, we will explore topics in pairs or in small groups, such as:
- What does "Making a Difference' or 'Social Impact" mean to you?
- Is impartiality in helping others realistic?
- How should we balance local vs global causes?
- What role do personal values play in our philanthropic choices?

What is EAHK social?
EAHK's Monthly Socials aim to provide a welcoming space for everyone in the EA community to socialise and make new connections. We usually do meals, and indoor or outdoor activities such as bowling or hiking monthly. So, whether you are new to EA, or are familiar already, you are most welcome to join us.
New to Effective Altruism?
For those new to effective altruism, here are a couple of good introductions. In short, EA is about using evidence to carefully analyze how, given limited resources, we can help others better. Link: What is effective altruism?
